The fox-hunting heritage of the Scottish Borders is legendary. With hounds working in some of Europe's finest riding country the hunts maintain a valuable role in the heart of the rural community. Operating within the law, while proudly upholding what they can of the values, the ethics and traditions of hunting, the hunts offer an excellent fox control service to farmers and landowners with the hounds flushing foxes to waiting guns.

The Liddesdale - Roxburghshire provides the hill ground hunted by the Liddesdale, rising to 2,000 feet with little jumping but some timber and stonewalls. Stamina and sure footedness are a must for the hunter in this heavily afforested terrain.

The Border Hunt enjoys good galloping country which is mainly all hill and open moorland straddling the Scottish/English border. The wild nature of this open country and the lie of the land frequently tempt hunting guests from north of the Border to enjoy a day's hunting with their neighbours.
